There are particular cases of keyword arguments that behave in certain ways that are best avoided in the future, for example `full_output=False` to return extra arguments. In this case, the `replace` keyword just switches between two methods, which seems perfectly normal to me. Either way, even things like `full_output` are not a good reason to deprecate something. We deprecate things because they're buggy, have severe usability issues, or some similar reason that translates to user pain.
